Really? In a country that brags about its freedoms, someone who uses a plant for recreation should be a criminal?

Legalize pot= eliminate drug violence, but don't allow th gov. to regulate anything

True, but drugs can also open up your mind; exibit A: Bob Marley

I disagree; a lot of the people who do it now do it because it is illegal. People who sell it can make more money if it is illegal. There should be freedom; legalize pot

We, as a country, claim to be the "land of the free." Prohibition violates this sentiment. Both marijuana and alcohol shouldbe legal. Cigarettes, which are deady, adictive, and without any benefits, are legal, so pot, which at least has some medicinal purposes, should be legal. The war on drugs is a failing and bleeding cost on the American people. Pot should be legal.

Lesson in US history: War defines the US, war made the US, war will destroy the US

Right on! Lets look at who the US is hated by, many middle eastern countries because we entered into wars over there for greedy purposes and ruined their way of life. Its only a matter of time before its the US (and maybe Britain if we are lucky) against the world

Very true, the progressive movement saved the US from becoming a rubish pit. But, I think we need another one; we need to become more liberal about immigration and human rights and we need to become more peaceful

"Great" Nation? How do wars, colonies and imperialism make a country great?

Exactly, we don't even know who destroyed it, or even if it was an accident, we just ran in shooting at whoever was the closest and biggest target

WHAT? So we needed a WAR so that we can have peace? What peace do we have now? We nver have peace.

Yes it was,and that led to more problems afterward because of the imperialism
